Why would we use a glitchy physic event when we have fast precise raycasting?

@Ben
Try it out. It's more efficient and much easier than raycasting.

@blockoo

How exactly is it more efficient to have a loop running to constantly calculate positions compared to a few more calculations called once on need.

"How exactly is it more efficient to have a loop running to constantly calculate positions"

"calculate positions"

"calculate"

"loop running"

"loop"

... You just said why it's more efficient than to use magnitude or raycasting in your sentence.

You don't need to run a loop when using TouchEnded -.-

Ok, but is that our problem? As long as we didn't make it, it's great.

P.S. If you must know, there's a TouchTransmitter that tells when the touch is disconnected, not some loop

"i suggest u learn how stuff works"

Ben, you think tagging code and then using the tag will increase runtime speed by 30%;

eg.
f=script.Parent
print(f.Name)

will run more quickly than

print(script.Parent.Name)
